The Sheltering Sky is a landmark of twentieth-century literature.
In this intensely fascinating story, Paul Bowles examines the ways
in which Americans' incomprehension of alien cultures leads to the
ultimate destruction of those cultures.A story about three American
travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after
World War II, The Sheltering Sky explores the limits of humanity
when it touches the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of
the desert.This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights
into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading,
and more.
